It has come to our attention that the directions to the monastery in the Pilgrim's Guide for 2016 contained an error (the left turn off of Route 152 is now before the H&R Block due to changes in traffic patterns). The corrected version of the Guide is now available.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, and we hope to see everyone on St. Panteleimon's Day next month and then for Pilgrimage Weekend in October!

The Hermitage of the Holy Cross celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, marking the occasion in a number of important ways which culminated in the celebration of its patronal feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross with the annual Pilgrimage Weekend following.
